Christmas items
The Christmas store in Disneyland quite a few items, some new and some just great favorites of collectors. Of the things there I saw there were Christmas Houses, Plates, Mugs, Frames and Ornaments in plush, glass and resin. Some of these items may be new but I do not know for sure. I do know that I didn't see them at WDW last year when I was there (except for the snowflake Pooh and Tigger ornaments)
Of the things I could not pass up purchasing were Tinkerbell Tree Topper shown below. She stands 11" high and at top of her wing spread 5" across. She feels like resin in the body. Her wings feel like plastic. She retailed for $35.
Picture below is Christmas Frame with Pooh, piglet and eeyore in a resin type material. Also pictured is snowflake ornaments of Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger. These are resin type material. Approx. 4.5 x 4.5 inches and retail for $10. (I didn't see piglet but if anyone has seen him please let me know)

Witch Minnie Hat & Plush

At Disneyland there is a variety of Halloween items to be found. There were Holiday t-shirts, bean bags, plush, Mickey pumpkin lanterns, Mickey pumpkin antenna (which looks similar to the lantern below) ornament, and costumes (a lot of these items are available from Disney stores or catalog). I thought that this witch hat was interesting as it had Minnie 5" Plush dressed as a witch attached to it.

Donald is the only one missing a pair of moccasins. Minnie is carrying a basket of food. If you look closely at Minnie's dress you will notice Mickey ears in the trim. The other characters also have mickey emblems here and there. My favorite out of the set was Donald and Pluto. I thought Pluto looked very much like a horse as he was packing supplies!

Bobbing Clocks & Figures
Well it seems as if Disney is doing a resurge of Bobbing items. At Disneyland I found Clocks and Statues with bobbing head or tops. Pictured at the top are Bobbing Clocks.... Goofy (standing on his head), Mickey Sorcerer, Pooh and his honey pot, and Tigger lounging on a log.
Pictured below are bobbing statues. Some are made out of plastic and others have a resin type feel. I didn't find any Pooh bobbing figures in the park but I did find a Baseball Tigger (sorry didn't get a picture of him). These figures stand approx 9" and sell for under $20.

A Disney Bear

Disney bear Gray, Disney Bear Cream and Disney Bear Brown. These are brand new very soft plush bears with beans in them. They all have a Mickey outline in their face. There are actually four Mickey faces that can be found these bears. The face, two on his feet and one on his butt. This bear also has an adorable story which is enclosed and part of his tag/book.
One night before the park opened, Mickey was sitting by the castle. The rest of his friends had not arrived yet, so Mickey brought along his favorite teddy bear to keep him company. Mickey was so excited to be in such a magical place that he wished he had somebody to explore the park with. Suddenly, Tinker Bell flew down out of the starry sky and saw Mickey sitting there with his stuffed friend. She had heard Mickey's wish and sprinkled the bear with Pixie Dust. The Pixie Dust filled the bear and he miraculously came to life! Mickey was so excited and happy, that he gave his bear a hug. As soon as Mickey hugged the bear a magical Mickey head shaped impression appeared on the bear's face, forever bonding him with Mickey. From that moment on, Mickey had a very special friend to share all his magical memories.
The cream and brown bear are stand up bears. Where the gray bear is a lay down bear. They are priced at $22. each.

Monsters, Inc Pre-sale update
Disney stores are now selling Monsters, Inc. on DVD or VHS. Pictured below is the front of the litho package. I have to say that Disney did a great job on the packaging of this litho set. When you open up the litho notice two doors. Behind the red door is Boo and Sully. Behind the orange door is Mike. In the middle are your 4 lithos. Held in place with door cardboard.
Online they showed that these 4 pictures would come in the litho. To the left side bottom it states Art subject to change. Well it looks like that is what happened.
Below are the pictures of the four lithos. You will notice that the top two pictures are different artwork than what is shown above. I do not know for sure but I suspect it will be this way for Catalog orders also. If anyone finds out different please let me know.
If you spend $50. at the Disney store at the same time you reserve your copy of Monsters, Inc Litho you get two promotions. The first is $10. off a Disney Halloween Costume between September 17 -24th. The second item is a $10 gift card. I was told that this gift card can be used anytime.

Coming Releases
Marc from Pooh Universe has published this list for up and coming beans to WDW and Disneyland parks.
Halloween Releases
Mickey as Captain Hook - Mickey is wearing a red coat and captain's hat and has a hook as one hand. He will have a long beard and patch over one eye. We weren't able to tell if he will have a pegged leg.
Minnie as Cruella Deville - Minnie is wearing a long black dress and has the typical Cruella black and white hair. She will have a long fur coat on, but it was undetermined if will be a spotted coat or not.
Pooh as a Purple Bat - Pooh is very similar to the Eeyore release coming out in the United Kingdom. Although Pooh's wings will be purple in color along with his pointy bat ears.
Eeyore as a Black Cat - Eeyore is also very similar to the Pooh release coming out in the United Kingdom. Although Eeyore will have glasses that have cat eyes in them on.
Christmas Releases
Mickey as Santa Clause - Mickey is dressed in a cute red velvet Santa's Outfit and beard. He has a bag of toys over his shoulder. His belt buckle is to have the famous mouse ears as a emblem.
Minnie as Mrs. Clause - Minnie also is dressed in a red velvet dress with white fur as trim. She will have glasses on, and looks to be carrying some sort of a toy or present.
Goofy as a Elf - Goofy is dressed in all green outfit with curled up shoes that have bells on them. He also looks to have a toy in his hands.
Pooh as Santa Clause - Pooh is dressed in the typical red velvet suit, fairly close to the one Mickey will be wearing. He also will have a bag of toys in one hand sitting in front of him. His foot looks as if it is dated "Christmas 2002".
Eeyore as a Christmas Tree - Eeyore dressed as a Christmas Tree, complete with lights and decoration. I was unable to determine if he is also dated or if the lights on the tree work or are just part of the material.

Happy Birthday Disneyland!
Disneyland celebrates its 47th birthday today July 17, 2002
|
"The idea for Disneyland came about when my daughters were very young and Saturday was always Daddy's day with the two daughters. So we'd start out and try to go someplace, you know, different things, and I 'd take them to the merry-go-round and did all these things- sit on a bench, you know, eating peanuts- I felt that there should be something built where the parents and the children could have fun together. So that's how Disneyland started. Well, it took many years... it was a period of maybe fifteen years developing. I started with many idea, threw them away, started all over again. And eventually it evolved into what you see today at Disneyland. But it all started from a daddy with two daughters wondering where he could take them where he could have a little fun with them, too," |
Quote from Sharon Baird, a Mouseketeer who was in Walt's
apartment with him on Opening Day.
"I was standing next to him at the window, watching the guests come
through the gates. When I looked up at him, he had his hands behind his back,
a grin from ear to ear, and I could see a lump in his throat and a tear
streaming down his cheek. He had realized his dream."

New WDW Mickey's

Two new bean bags have arrived at WDW.
German Mickey
and Rockin' Roller Coaster Mickey They retail for $7.00 each.
German Mickey is part of the Epcot,
he has the same tag design as the
Morrocco Mickey that came out a couple of months ago.
Rockin' Roller Coaster is a wonderful
thrill ride Costarring Aerosmith. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster opened to
guests on August 1, 1999, as part of the largest property-wide expansion in
Walt Disney World history. The indoor roller coaster features a high-speed
launch of 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds, three inversions, rock-concert lighting and
a specially created Aerosmith soundtrack blasting from 120 onboard speakers in
each coaster train -- all firsts for a Walt Disney World attraction.
Jeans tells me that Rockn' roller
coaster Mickey
has that new theme park style of tag like the Mickey
dressed as Goofy had, (minus the limited edition).
Thanks to Jean of Colorado for the pictures and information!
